Chapter 2: Sophie
When the young couple could see again they were standing in a cream-coloured room with a nice coffee table and sofa that you might expect to find in a business reception area. It even had the latest edition of Teen Witch Weekly magazine on it. There also was a granite desk, again much like a reception, which had an Apple computer, a pot of pens and a mini filing cabinet on it. Behind the desk was a woman in her late 20s reading TWW magazine.
Excuse me? Can you tell us where we are please? Harry said politely.
The woman behind the desk put down her magazine and said ,in a tone which reminded Harry of one of those tinkling bells as you entered a shop in Diagon Alley,
Welcome to the soul bond department. You may go on through now. Sophie is expecting you. The woman smiled.
‘Go on through where?’ Harry thought. ‘ There isn’t a door’
Just as Harry was about to question it, a golden door appeared on the left of the desk.
Come on Harry. Lets go find out why we're here Hermione tugged Harry through the door.
On the other side of the door they found what looked like a living room with a red love seat and two sofas. It also had a green plastic file on the table in between the furniture. Harry couldn't read what it said on the file but saw a cherub on the front.
Hello?Harry called out nervously.
There was a loud crack, similar to that of apparating, and a tall blonde woman appeared. She looked in her early 30s and had dazzling blue eyes.
“Harry, Hermione please have a seat. I’ve been expecting you for quite some time now.†The woman said whilst smiling kindly.
Erm, Not to sound rude or anything but who are you? Hermione said cautiously.
The woman laughed "How rude of me not to introduce myself! I'm Sophie and I watch over soul bound couples to make sure they realise that theyre meant to be together and start the soul bond journey by kissing. In some cases I have to intervene and help them along the path a bit. In your case, for example, its taken SEVEN years of long hours of arduous labour to get you two to kiss!
But... Harry started but Sophie cut him off.
No Harry, kissing someone when their petrified doesnt count. Both parties have to be aware and willing for the soul bond to initiate. Sophie explained.
Oh Harry said, looking at the floor to hide his embarrassment.
Harry kissed me when I was petrified? Hermione thought
Yes, I did. Harry mumbled
You heard that Harry? Hermione asked, looking surprised.
Heard what? Harry asked back.
This Hermione thought.
Harry looked on in amazement.
Hermione, either youre a ventriloquist or I just heard what you thought! Harry said.
Sophie chuckled Oh, I see youve found out you can hear each others thoughts
Yes we have and while were at it is there anything else we should know? Hermione asked.
Yes there is. Why dont you have a seat? We have some things to discuss.
Harry and Hermione walked hand in hand over to the love seat and sat down.
So? Harry said.
Well as you already have found out, you can Thought-Speak through the bond. Also your magical cores are both merged into one now, therefore you share power and if you are in contact with each other, then your spells will be more powerful. The powers of a soul bond also give you both fully developed Occulmency shields and you are now both Masters at Legimens so you can hide your thoughts from other people and each other. This comes in handy when trying to hide the Christmas presents from each other but is most important when people are trying to read your minds for information you dont want to give. Sophie explained.
Well, that will certainly help. Noted Hermione whilst Harry nodded in agreement.
Also, one last thing. Im allowed to give the option of going back in time with all of your future knowledge to redo your years at Hogwarts because of the fact that your destiny wasnt fulfilled. You see, you were meant to live to the ripe old age of 250 but because of Ron Weasely befriending you earlier than anticipated the course of your life has been altered greatly. If you accept I can send you both back to the beginning of first year when you are just arriving at Kings Cross Station for the first time, so you can meet each other earlier. Sophie told the couple.
After a brief chat, the duo decided that they would love to go back and redo everything.
Ok we chose to go back. What do we have to do? Harry told Sophie.
Just sit back and relax Smiled Sophie.
Then, for the second time that day, the pair were engulfed in white light.
